Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Used Filter Enomet
Fitan 40 (2018) is a high-clarity, microfiltration solution designed
for final polishing and microbial retention ahead of filling
operations on a used bottling line. Engineered for beverage production
environments, it combines sanitary construction with automated
nitrogen backwash to maintain stable flow and consistent quality
across water, juice, beer, wine, and other low-viscosity beverages.
Manufacturer / Model: Enomet Fitan 40 Year of manufacture: 2018

available Safety: safety features included Operational status: in
storage (second hand) Advanced Automation & Control Systems The Fitan
40 leverages an integrated PLC to manage filtration and nitrogen
backwash routines, stabilizing differential pressure and optimizing
filter media life. Automated sequences reduce operator intervention,
supporting consistent performance across shifts. System feedback
enables repeatable start/stop, hold, purge, and recovery cycles,
promoting uptime in industrial packaging operations. Electrical
integration is straightforward for beverage production facilities;
typical industrial configurations include three-phase power. Control
interface layout is engineered for quick access to key setpoints,
alarms, and operating parameters. Safety interlocks and an emergency
stop enhance operator protection while maintaining hygienic
processing. Production Line Integration Capabilities This Enomet unit
integrates seamlessly into new or existing used bottling line
configurations, pairing effectively with rinsing, filling, capping,
and labeling equipment. Its role as a final or polishing filter makes
it suitable for PET, glass, and aluminum packaging formats, feeding
gravity or counter-pressure fillers and supporting carbonated or still
beverages when configured appropriately. The filterâs controlled
backwash with nitrogen helps preserve product quality by limiting
oxygen ingress, a particular advantage for beer, wine, and sensitive
juices. Standard sanitary connections facilitate quick tie-ins to CIP
loops, bright tanks, and buffer manifolds, enabling flexible
re-routing across SKUs and format changes. Machine Condition &
Maintenance History Year 2018, second hand, and currently in storage,
this unit presents as a well-kept, modern filtration asset suitable
for rapid redeployment. Manuals are available to support installation,
operation, and maintenance. Safety features are included, and revision
documentation may be provided where applicable to outline prior
service interventions and settings verification. Operational
Performance & Versatility With a throughput of roughly 2.5â3.0
m³/h, the Fitan 40 provides robust clarity and microbial control at
0.2 µm, making it a strong fit for final filtration of water,
juice, beer, wine, cider, and similar beverages. The nitrogen backwash
extends media life and helps sustain flow rate, improving overall OEE
by reducing manual filter changes and unplanned interruptions. Whether
paired with PET bottling lines, glass bottling lines, or aluminum
canning, the unit supports upstream polish prior to filling, capping,
and labeling. It suits both craft and industrial packaging scales,
with consistent, repeatable results across batches and formats.
Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Plan a sanitary, level
area with sufficient clearance for service access, filter element
replacement, and safe egress. Provide suitable process piping for
product inlet/outlet, drain, and CIP integration. A dedicated nitrogen
supply is required for automated backwash; size the line and regulator
for stable pressure delivery. Electrical connection should align with
typical three-phase industrial power used in beverage production
environments. Ensure proximity to plant utilities (CIP, water, and
drains) to streamline commissioning and routine sanitation. Safety
Standards & Compliance Certification The Fitan 40 incorporates safety
features such as interlocked protections and emergency stop to support
operator safety during operation and maintenance. Its sanitary
stainless-steel design, smooth surfaces, and cleanable geometry align
with hygienic processing practices for beverage facilities. Manuals
are available to assist with risk assessment, lockout/tagout
procedures, and integration with line-wide safety systems around
rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling modules, helping your team
